Central Missouri State requires that admitted students have completed sixteen units of state-approved college preparatory curriculum, including four units of English, three units each of mathematics and social sciences, two unites of science, and four total units of electives. Applicants must have scored 21 or better on the ACT or 980 or better on the SAT. Finally, applicants must have an admissions index score of at least 100. The index uses class rank, class size, and test scores to calculate an applicant’s “Combined Percentile Index.” The average Central Missouri freshman posted an average ACT score of 22 and had an average high school grade point average of 3.1. The majority of admitted students are female (54 percent). Ninety percent of Central’s undergraduates are natives of Missouri, though there are also students representing 43 states and 59 nations. The average undergraduate is 22.3 years-old and approximately one-third of them live on campus.
